      I seen that enough before to know «it’s a thing» in some sections of the denim community, but I don’t claim to understand it.  Is it because people don’t like branding?

        Good question. There's a pair of 777-14oz denim on ebay right now and the seller removed the arcs and the patch. The seller clearly doesn't like branding. Still pretty strange though.

          I'm not a big fan of arcs, myself… Not sure I'd bother removing them, though.

            It doesn’t get old. While I love The Sopranos, The Wire is the benchmark for truly excellent television.

            I felt the same, the the Sap's were it…...then came The Wire....Mc Nutty.....

              I feel the same…..perhaps that's why I'm a fan of the stealth arcs

                2nd season when Pelecanos was writing for them. Want to read a good book-anything by George Pelecanos.

                    Sons of Anarchy is my TV gold standard. I guess no surprise there.

                          Season 2 is amazing. Tbh though everytime I think about this I just end up thinking about what’s great about all the series. Even the somewhat maligned S5 is full of awesomeness.

                              Yep, S5 is good. I really liked Bubbles' arc and conclusion to his story. Bittersweet

                                  Controversial. But I completely understand you rating three and four. In fact the characters introduced in s4 are one of the reasons s5 could be a lot less great than it is and still not fail.

                                    So much goodness. I dug S4 as well. I remember hating Presbylewski's character at first, but after seeing his downfall and subsequent redemption as a teacher it all came together.

                                    Funny seeing Michael B. Jordan in S1 as a young'un. Now he's hit the big time

                                      ^^Another great thing about the show.

                                      So many actors went on to do other stuff.  My wife is constantly annoyed when we're watching some show and I yell, "Hey!  He was on The Wire!"

                                        Yep, I did the same while watching The Walking Dead….3 actors from The Wire have been on the show. Also noticed Chad Coleman (aka Cutty) is on The Expanse

We're trying to Keep it running but it gets harder and harder. And I can almost bet I won't make it through the week without infection. Just great 😠
